FlGREATEST EVER PRODUCEDWheat Leads, and Yield Will Exceed NiBillion Bushels, Aoeording to the CGovernment Eetimates.Washington. - Americas harveststhis year will be the most valuable aever produced. With the wheat crop diexceeding a billion bushels, the larg- acest ever produced is one season by asany nation, and a corn crop which asalso may prove to be the largest ever tagrown, the government's October crop bereport issued Thursday announoed apreliminary estimates which indicate a'record harvests of oats, barley, rye,sweet potatoes, rice, tobacco and hay. peCorn still is king of crops with in- ftdications of 3,026,159,000 bushels. atWhile that is 88,000,000 bushels below inthe record of 1912, the final production ttmay more than make up the - de- aficiency. The higher prices this year alassure the most valuable corn crop ttever grown. At prices to farmers pre- savailing October 1. the,corn crop isworth $2,133,000,000. reWheat prospects increased as the P1growing season progressed so that the o01,preliminary estimate of production Fwas placed at 1.002.029,000 bushels. biWet weather at harvest time, however, wreduced the quality of winter wheat Pso that much of it will not Be avail- toable for milling purposes and will fthave to be used for feed. At pricesprevailing October 1, the farm value aiof the crop is $910,844,000, consider- Iably more than ever was paid for a oiwheat crop before. aSeptember weather was particularly fdestructive to potatoes, causing a readuction of 37 580,000 bushels, or 10 inper cent, in the forecast of production.Tobacco also suffered from unfavorable conditions, which caused a docrease of 21,619,000 pounds in the production forecastTobacco, however, promises to ex*sed the record crop of 1909 by 43,000,- t000 pounds. 0Oats will exceed the record crop of1912 by almot -100,000,000 bushels.Barley will exceed its record by 13,100,000 bushels; sweet potatoes by i6,000,000. bushels; rice by 50,000 bush- cels, and hay by 8,000,000 tons.Large Depesits of Novacullte Feund.Austin, Tex.-While egaged in exploration in the mountains of WestTexas during the past summer, Chas.Laurence Baker of the bureau of economic geology, University of Texas,found large deposits of novaculite, avaluable oil stone heretofore found inthe United States only in the Ouachita1mountains of West Central Arkansas.The novaculite in Texas is found inNorth Central Brewster county, alongthe line of the Southern Pacific railroad from Haymond westward to be. 1yond Marathon.
